The best homemade Smoked Maple Bourbon Bacon ever. This bacon used Maple Syrup and Bourbon. It was cured in the Fridge for 7 days and was turned everyday to ensure the cure covered the whole of the belly.
The Bacon was then smoked with Apple Wood at 270f for approx 2 1/2 hours, until the internal temperature reached 155f.
Once at temperature the Bacon was removed, sliced and cooked up, Very simple but amazingly delicious.
Ingredients
2kg Pork Belly
The Cure
1/4 Tsp of Prague Powder
1/2 Cup Brown Sugar
1/2 Cup Kosher Salt
1/3 Cup of Maple Syrup
1/4 Cup of Bourbon

That looks awesome I don't have a smoker can I hang dry it instead?
Use your hands, get it all over.
Where do you get the music from? It's bad ass
Is this skin on or off?
Jack danials is not bourbon
I think you need to say 'actual' and 'actually' more often.
Something funny about exclusively kosher salt for pork… I can't place it.
Jack Daniels/Gentleman Jack is a Tennessee Sour Mash Whiskey and NOT a Bourbon. Different flavor profile in each of these and process.
Hi Hector! I’m from Brazil. I would like to know the measure of salt in weight to make the recipe here. Thanks!
Does bourbon do something to inhibit the curing process? I've tried adding bourbon to my cures twice and both times the meat failed to cure.
You lost me after saying 5 times about how it’s not important how well
You spread the brine.
If it’s not important stop carrying on about it so I can watch the video
You did not indicate if the Prague powder is #1 or #2 .
Does it have to be vacuum sealed? I want to just put it in a pan in the fridge
Acts like he's scared to touch it
Great video, but Gentleman Jack is a Tennessee Whiskey, not Bourbon!! 😁
‼AMAZING
👍😉😀
What's the name of the cure?
I can hear the crunch 🤯 this was very simple and to the point question do you taste the bourbon or did it cook off I've never made my own homemade bacon but I do have everything I need to give it a go
What is the weight of the pork belly to your cure measurements? I.E. 3 lbs of meat would not need as much as a 10 lb slab?????
Where can I buy curing salt ?
Great recipe. Turn down the mic next time you’re eating on the camera lol
What kind of smoker is that and where do yo buy it
Great video, thank you!
